a writer calls attention to the Osprey"
plumes worn by English ladies, and tells
how they are procured:
The long plumes, misnamed osprey
by the dealers, are taken from the egrets
and smaller herons, who wear them for
a short time only, during the nesting
season. These beautiful birds breed gener-
ally in companies or 'rookeries, as they
are called, and one of the principal nesting
places was Florida.
S great, however, has beer the de-
mand for osprey plumes, by the ladies of
Europe and America, that these heron
rookeries nave been nearly destroyed by
professional gunners. AS the long and
delicate feathers are only donned during
the breeding season, it is at this time of
the year that the massacres take place
around the nests.
"'Cannot anything be done, he asks,
'to stop such wicked slaughter
Eyes, there can. The facts can be
driven home. But only good, rousing
sensationalism. and not arm chair agita-
ton, can do that. London Journal.

The professions also leave their traces
in the forms of the organs and in the fea-
lures. THE bearing of the soldier, > says
NJ. Mantegazza, lis precise, stiff and ener-
getic; that of the priest, supple md unct-
o The soldier, even in civil life, shows
in his movements the habit of obedience
and command; while the priest in a lay
dress wears the mark of the cassock and
the cloth, and his fingers seem all the
time to be blessing or a~bsolving." Sc
many other professions may be recognized
by their attitudes, but there are limita-
tations in the matter; for physiognomy,
as NJ. Mantegazza says, ''cannot yet be
considered an exact science, because we
do not yet know all the elements of tho
problem. 1t has, nevertheless, its well
established general laws. We are not
likely to confound a frank p~hysiognomy
with a tricky one, or an honest face with
the face of a debauchee or rascal

1t has been calculated that on the aver
age each man who attains the age of
three score and ten consumes during the
course of his life twenty wagon loads of
food, solid and liquid. At four tons to
the wagon, this would correspond to an
average of about 100 ounces OF food per
day, or say some 1870 ounce per day dur
ing adult life, and about eighty ounces
during infancy and youth. Most modern
doctors agree in regarding 100 ounces of
food per day, corresponding to five or
six half pints of liquid food, and seven
or eight pounds of solid food, as in ex-
cess of the real daily requirements of u
healthy man or woman
Yet probably most of us take more
than this, in one way or another, during
the day. DIR. Lancaster, from an extern
sive analysis of the dietary of soldiers,
sailors, prisoners, and the better paid
class of artisans and professional men in
London, found the average daily guam
tity of solid and liquid food to be las
ounces. Doubtless many take much less;
but unquestionably many take much
more than this. When some one men,
toned before Sydney Smith the twenty
wagon loads of food calculated for each
mans allowance, he turned to Lord
Durham, who, like himself, was corpu-
lent land not without sufficient reason),
with the quaint remark, 81 think our
wagons, Durham, must be four horsed
ones" There are members of the Lon
don corporation, to seek no further,
whose wagons must be six horsed ones,
and well loaded at that.-Richard A.
Proctor in The Cosmopolitan.

The symptoms of biliousness are unhap-
PLY too well known. They differ in DIFF
ferent individuals to some extent. A bill
ious man is seldom a breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for solids OF
a morning. His tongue will hardly bear
inspection at any time; if it is not white
and furred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
ord and Diarrhea or Constipation may
be a symptom or the two may alternate.
There are often Hemmorrhoids or even
loss of blood. There may be Riddiness
and often headache and acidity or flatu.
lence and tenderness in the pit of the
stomach. To correct all this if not effect
a cure try Green's August FIot1er, it costs
but a trile and thousands attest its efficacy.

The state of Kansas pays a bounty of
two cents per pound on all sorghum
sugar manufactured within its limits.
This has led to an extraordinary increase
in sorghum growing. The Fort Scott
works, with improved pans, has
and twelve gallons of syrup from a ton
may be grown on an acre, the state
bounty alone pays q fair profit on cost of
growing. Sorghum seed makes a valu-
able feed for stock, and is a fair substi-
tute for buckwheat to make flour from
for griddle cakes. Thus the Kansas
farmer may get his bread and have it
sweetened from one plant, besides re-
ceiving something from the state for his
enterprise.-Boston Budget.

A Car Fire Extinruisher.

Apracticable invention, perhaps, is that
Of a car fire extinguisher, in case Of de-
railment or collision. 1t consists of a tank
Of water above the stove, with a large
pipe extending from it to the inside of the
stove, just above the fire; a trap in the
bottom of the tank is connected by levers
with n series Of arms at the bottom of the
car. n of these arms extending under
each corner of each platform, while
another extends down toward the track;
in case, therefore, of collision, one of the
arms under the platform must be struck
first, thus moving the lever, opening the
trap, and instantly deluging the fire with
wGtcr-or, in case of derailment, one of
the arms hanging down toward the track
is struck and operates the lever.

What little reputation l have as an
author was fairly won while l was n
hard working and successful lawyer. On
the other hand, my literary work never
interfered in the least with my law prac-
tice. l look upon a well set method Of
working as the chief secret of success in.
any undertaking, provided the native
ability to succeed be granted. believe
in the moral influence and vitalizing
force of playing. A man or a woman
needs play-recreation-or whatever is
the opposite of work. 1 have always
found time for outdoor sports and have
been the gamer from them in every
sense. 1t is a morbid view of life which
would show that in order to succeed one
must work all the year round. Play is
profitable if held within the bounds pre-
scribed by good Judgment.

In his native hills he was once known
as ''the boy who stole Don Vicente's
creek. Said Vicente, a pompous mes
tho, strutting in the prestige of a semi
official authority, was the mayoral, or
overseer in chief, of a former convent
hacienda, now "a government domain,
used only as a stock farm. By way of
asserting the pr~erogativeS of his position
the mayoral monopolized not only the
hunting privilege of the vast estate, but
also the use of its drinking water, and, a
few weeks after the death of young Ber-
nails father, seized one of the widows
cows, las a warning to trespassers upon
the reservation of a government water
course" MARK my words, neighbors,
if l do not make him stop Dragging about
that government creek" shrieked Master
Bernal, when the bailiff had elbowed his
way through an Indignation meeting of
the widows friends, and on the very
same evening he marched a posse of
trusty playmates to the headwaters of
the monopoly creek.
Up in the dells of the Sierra, and
nearly ten miles above Don Vicente's
stock farm, the boy had private knowl-
edge of a place where a portion of the
brook found its way into a cavern or
sink hole, without a visible outlet toward
the next valleys of the watershed; and
by widening the channel of the affluent
nearly all the water of the brook was
diverted toward that drain. The small
residue was absorbed in its course through
the sands of the fountainless plain, and
the next morning the mayoral was sur
prised to note the disappearance of the
sacred stream. An exploring party
failed to elucidate the significance of the
p%ortent, and it is on record that young
Bernal was ~subpoenaed on a charge of
having entered into a conspiracy with
his uncle, the druggist of San Lorenzo,
to affect the evanesence of a public pas
ture brook by mixing its waters with
evaporative essences?-Lippincott' Mag

Hnshish is superseding morphine and
vaporized ether, it is said, in the affection
of the Partisan dilettanti drunkards.
They have founded a Hashish club on the
Rue st. Michel, where they meet every
Friday. The amount of the drug which
each shall take is prescribed by a doctor,
and the dose is prepared by a chemist,
both members of the club. 1t is taken in
pills, and not chewed, drunken or
smoked, as are the Oriental fashions.
Each of the membersis bound to describe

ally, his sensations as the drug gains in

The Kolnische Volkszeitung calls at
tention to the experiments which are be-

seems that similar experiments have been

castles of Nurburg, not only with edel-
weiss, but also with other rare Alpine
plants. But it is a question whether ths

J.. A fine glass vase, just discovered in an
Etruscan tomb at Bologna, is of a sea
green color, like a soda water bottle, thick
and of q unique form, with two handles.
1t is nine inches high and without orna-
mentation. There is not a single defect,
flaw, crack or chip about it. With it was
found an ivory chair, made after the
fashion of a modern camp stool, having
all its screws and rivets still in perfect
condition, and a small casket containing
beads and some very elegant articles in
bronze. The articles are supposed to date
from the Fifth century. The tomb in
which they were found was closed at the
top by an enormous globular mass Of
stone as fresh as if it had only been fash

$500. The princess, in speaking of this
